Very cool planet:)

As from comments I left in the first post related to this (here), it is interesting to see the biases of the media put on to emphasis the local content.
The actual author list is found here. If you (or your Uni) have a subscription, you can probably read the full Nature article, but since it is Australia Day and I am at home (YAY!!!), I don't have access. Went to a good talk on the subject yesterday afternoon though - presented by author number 13:)
So far, the press appear to be picking out the PLANET collaboration members closest to them (continent wise). The Nature popular summary article mentions more of the authors, but only mentions the lead author (Jean-Philippe Beaulieu - French) at the end... which given he is the one with whom correspondence on the subject is supposed to go to... He may be hiding from the media (sensible option) or only talking to the french.

However thats enough surfing, time to have breakfast and start sewing... It must be in the air or something, tough I am starting my binge ahead of big camping event a little earlier than the others I have been hearing about. Mind you, Festival is only 2 weeks away...

And Z wants the computer...:)

Australia Day

So, slept instead of practicing driving (bad), established attempt 1 braies pattern* (round 2 more trouser-like to be attemped later**), cut out fabric for tiered skirt from crinkly fabric, divided in half for ease of gathering and decided I can make a good skirt out of half the fabric - another one later I think and dye it a different colour, swore at sewing machine lots, had picnic and watched fireworks***.

*Based on Ulf's one...
**Z gets real living history experimental underwear for Festival - of two different types even...:)
***Cascades of fireworks off the bridge were good and also the ones which bounced along the water. Was definitely worth watching from the National museum - good unobstructed view and far less people. And far easier to drive away from afterwards...

It must be time to go to bed... Z is hugging the tent... and taking away the fan... may be a bit of a hint there...
